According to Bellewes, citing the CTG, Henry was the second son of John, but it seems Rundale passed not to Henry but to Reginald on John's death (see John's page).
SO, was Henry really the son of John or was he the son of Reginald?
(I need to try to understand these sources, see the originals where they survive etc. but it may not be clear even then).

Civic Office From 1314 to 1315 Sheriff of Kent - From Rundall Manor leaflet, but Wikipedia article (perhaps too reliant on Hasted, not the most accurate source) suggests it was a different Henry who was the Sheriff. More research needed.

Father John COBHAM, d. Bef 1251 Mother Joan, d. Yes, date unknown Family ID F9987 Family Group Page | Family Chart
Family Joan OF PENCHESTER, b. Bef 1269, d. 1324 (Age ~ 55 years) Married - Bellewes only mentions the one wife of Henry, but the Shorne Woods Archaeology Group website refers to Joan as Henry's second wife.
If he did marry twice, whose were the children?
The name Stephen may suggest they were sons of Joan of Penchester, as her father was called Stephen, although maybe as there were two sons Stephen one was the son of each of two wives.
Bellewes refers to Stephen the younger's mother Joan, as daughter of Stephen of Penchester, granting to him by fines, subject to the payment of life annuities to herself, the manors of Rodmeregge and 'l'unstall, in 1323 (possibly from the Calendar of Close Rolls, p. 683? - or is that citation only for Stephen and his wife being alive in 1342?).
The Shorne Woods Archaeology Group does refer to Stephen the elder as the son of Joan, and Bellewes comments on him having taken his mother's arms, so I will assume he was the son of John, for the moment at least.
